Oy vey: A video game with a rabbi protagonist?

Hold onto your hats, there’s a lot of video game news today. First up, perhaps the most sensible answer to the Left Behind video game (har har): a video game starring a rabbi, called “The Shivah”:

In the murder-mystery game named after the Jewish mourning ritual, protagonist Rabbi Stone is having a crisis of faith and his congregation on New York’s Lower East side is losing members and cash.

When he inherits a small windfall from a controversial congregant, Rabbi Stone must solve the mystery behind the gift and make sure it is not cursed.

I really truly want to try this now. I wonder if it’s any good?
